Sandfly good to know I have never tried it on the craft fur. I have dyed other things with it and had no trouble with it. I have like 5 garbage bags full of natural fur that I have dyed more that a lifetime worth of dubbing. Thanks for the info.

If you're willing to share the dye you used on the craft fur, I'd much appreciate it. I picked up a bunch of it on Friday but they only had white, brown, and black. I wanted Olive so I decided to try RIT on the white fur. It turned out absolutely awful. I even let it soak for 1.5 hours. Barely changed color at all.

I've dyed honey bug yarn with Rit and it came out good, but I had two problems:

1) The yarn causes the hooks to rust. Is there a solution? Is it just a matter of rinsing it more thoroughly? I thought I rinsed it quite a bit.

2) The color looks great for awhile, but begins to fade pretty quickly after the flies are used and sit in the fly box for a little while. Is that just the nature of cotton? Or is there a dye that will hold its color better with cotton than Rit?

3) I heard Rit Neon Green has been discontinued. Is there a good replacement from another company?
